Our cleaners are paid a fair, livable wage and we strive to hire the most reliable, honest and thorough cleaners to care for our homes and guests.

Joshua Tree has a number of great hikes, restaurants and of course, Joshua Tree National Park. We recommend having a car to explore the sights!
We recommend also exploring Yucca Valley and Pioneertown areas of Yucca Valley, as well as the downtown strip of Joshua Tree for local coffee shops (Joshua Tree Coffee) and boutique stores.
